Life gets even busier when a Detroit grim reaper named Aisling Grimlock hits Moonstone Bay for her honeymoon. Aisling is loud, brash … and pregnant.

On one of those visits, the older woman takes a spill and finds herself in the hospital … at the exact worst time... moreBooker is a loner … at least in most respects.
